Basic Rules -APA
Formatting your annotated bibliography:
• Although APA does not recognize Annotated Bibliographies, they are becoming popular in use, so you need to know how to do this research in APA
•
• Citations/Work Cited/References are all in APA format
• Alphabetize entries by author’s last name. Authors names are abbreviated
• Double space every line in your annotated bibliography, both within and between entries. (I.e., your four annotated citations are continuous;do not need to be on separate pages.)
• Do NOT “center “ your paper, use align Text Left
• Use “hanging indent” format; that is, the first line of the citation starts at the left margin, and subsequent lines of the citation are indented 5 spaces..
•
• For this class, do a Cover Page and a header for your paper.

Annotated Bibliography – https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/
A bibliography is a list of sources (books, journals, Web sites, periodicals, etc.) one has used for researching a topic. Bibliographies are sometimes called “References” or “Works Cited” depending on the style format you are using. A bibliography usually just includes the bibliographic information (i.e., the author, title, publisher, etc.).
An annotation is a summary and/or evaluation. Therefore, an annotated bibliography includes a summary and/or evaluation of each of the sources. Depending on your project or the assignment, your annotations may do one or more of the following.
Your project will include
*Citation of the Resource
*Under each citation will be three paragraphs
The annotations in a bibliography may consist of the following: For the purpose of this project you will be doing all three annotations.
* Summary–What was the article about? What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say?
* Evaluation/Assess – After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?
*Reflect – Once you’ve summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your research project? Has it changed how you think about your topic?
